Derby in for Forestieri

chaileyjem · Aug 9, 2016

Mel Morris obviously still has a fair few ££ to spend.

"Derby County have launched an ambitious bid to land one of the Championship's star strikers, the Derby Telegraph understands.

Rams manager Nigel Pearson said after Saturday's goalless draw against Brighton that the club had offers in for players and one of the bids is for Sheffield Wednesday's Fernando Forestieri."

Not sure they are gonna be successful but blimey, its going to be tough this year...
Hope CH, TB, PB have lined up some equally audacious targets in the next 22 days..

Audacious is one word but mad is another- SWFC would ring them dry. 12m+.

Would be amazed if he left Wednesday.
Seems Pearson doesn`t like Chris Martin, I`d have him at the Albion.

DFL JCL · Aug 9, 2016

One of the finest players in the league. Shef Wed would be mad to let him go to a rival. Can't see anything doing in this one.

Martin, Ince, Blackman, Weimann, Bent.

Insanely good options up top.

What an array of divers they'd then have. Surely unrivalled in number if it came through.

Good call, as the player has most times scored against us, so it'll be great if was for us.

There's only one team in the Championship who'd sell to their rivals

AmexRuislip · Aug 9, 2016

Forestieri and the Albino, sounds like an odd Italian 80's pop band.

Behind Enemy Lines · Aug 9, 2016

We should have got him last summer. 3 million quid. what a signing that was by Wednesday. Will be extremely surprised if Wednesday sell him to one of their Championship rivals.

If we could get Forestieri, I honestly couldn't see us not getting promoted.

Absolutely no way on Earth that a HUGE club like Wednesday will let him go, unless he has a sell out clause! Their pleasant fans would be irate.....bring it on!

He's the best flair player in the league, and that includes our very own AK.

Massive wouldn't be much without him, and Derby would quickly move to automatic favourites. Probably worth the money if they have it.

Assuming they also keep Hughes.

Notters · Aug 9, 2016

Is he not busy competing against Tom Daley in Rio at the moment?

According to the Derby fans on their forum, Pearson doesn't rate Hughes as he thinks he's too lazy,. If that's true, I wonder how much game time he's going to get.

I'd have him in a heartbeat - class player

Lazy? He won them back possession on Saturday about 5 times in as many minutes by putting comitted challenges in.

He's class but PL bound surely.

Almost turned the game for them. He also put in the cross that gave them the opener in that heartbreak game at the Amex last season. It was a very classy bit of skill. Pearson is a complete chump if he doesn't rate Hughes. I was bloody delighted not to see him for 70 odd minutes on Saturday

Back on thread, there is absolutely no way that Weds will sell Forestieri to Derby and they know it. Stupid bid if true, just to placate the natives.

Martin looked awful on Saturday. Wouldn't want him near our team.
Came on as a substitute to great applause from the Derby fans. Within 10 seconds he received the ball on the left wing and with his first touch knocked it out for a Brighton throw. Most amusing.

We should make an offer to bid Derby 'up' anyway even if we don't want the fella (and by God we should).
